The Dimension 4700 replaces the
Dimension 4600 (a former PC World Best
Buy) in Dell's lineup of value systems.
With the 4700, Dell takes advantage of
Intel's new 915G chip set to add such
new features as 5.1-channel sound and
HDTV, wide-screen, and dual-display
support. The chip set's built-in
Graphics
Media Accelerator (GMA) 900 graphics
controller uses a chunk of main memory
and the 4700 earned modest scores in our
graphics tests. Though frame rates
and image quality were good, both were
lower than what we've seen from
similarly priced value systems that use
a dedicated graphics card. On the other
hand, the new chip set also supports the
new PCI express slot.
